ZOE Lucker is coming back to Footballers Wives.

The Huddersfield star, 31, will make a shock return to Earls Park FC in the fifth series after going back on her decision to quit as bitchy Tanya Turner after being offered £100,000 an episode.

A spokesman said: "We can confirm that Tanya will be back.

"She will return in the latter half of the fifth series."

Zoe (pictured), from Lindley, quit earlier this year saying she was tired of the nude scenes, but a report that she will kill rival Amber Gates is said to be off the mark. Meanwhile, there is still no news about Bombshell, Zoe's new TV drama. It was supposed to air five months ago, but there has still been no sign of it.

Zoe has been nominated for acting honours at this year's National Television Awards. She is up against the likes of Patsy Kensit of Emmerdale, EastEnders star Jessie Wallace and Corrie's Kate Ford for best actress.
